About this House

A log cabin with lots of character beside a small stream in a desirable location (Upper Fairview Road) in an established neighborhood. A very difficult find in this price range. Exposed beams, white walnut paneling and stack rock fireplace (gas log) give the living room a real cozy cabin feel for those inside days and in better weather the large covered west facing front porch is perfect for sunsets. There is a full partially finished basement with a full bath, great space for kids, rec room or man cave. This cabin has just the right size (near level) yard for the kids with a circle drive and fenced pasture and barn available (goats, sheep and chickens only). This home,, being only 10 minutes from Sylva or Cullowhee and within walking distance of Fairview Elementary School or Smoky Mountain High School would be a great first home for a young/active family.
1478 Fairview Rd, Sylva, NC 28779 is a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 1,886 sqft single-family home built in 1993. It last sold for $245,000 on Jan 21, 2020.
